how to shave

When shaving, it is best to apply foam. Applying foam can reduce the damage to the skin. Therefore, when shaving, we can use a hot towel on the face and shave with a razor to avoid irritation to the skin. When shaving, you can use the pressing method. After shaving, you should dry the skin and pat and breathe, which can have a hydrating effect and replenish the moisture of the skin.

how to shave

①2 minutes before shaving

Men's beards are very tough, and their skin is relatively fragile. Therefore, you should pay attention to preparations before shaving, so as to avoid damaging the facial skin during the shaving process. Being prepared can also ensure that shaving is easier and more thorough.

Apply hot towel to face for 1 minute: Hot water can soften the beard and expand the pores, making it easier to shave.

Apply shaving foam in 1 minute: You can use push-type shaving foam products, which saves the time of using your hands to create foam. Shaving foam can lubricate and soften fibrous roots.

②Shaving for 1 minute

1 minute "shaving" beard (using a manual razor): With the previous preparations, the shave will be smoother. First shave in the direction of beard growth, which can remove most of the beard and reduce irritation to the skin. Then shave again in the opposite direction of beard growth.

"Shave" your beard in 1 minute (using an electric shaver): Electric shavers now have wet and dry functions. Use them after applying shaving foam to reduce friction on the face. The shaving method is the same as manual shaving.

③Aftershave 2 minutes

30 seconds to dry skin: Gently dry skin and excess foam with a soft towel.

Apply aftershave in 30 seconds: calm and soothe skin. Using your hands, apply aftershave to freshly shaved skin in a dabbing motion. Aftershave has soothing and anti-inflammatory properties.

How to choose a razor

1. Choose based on your habits

The choice of razor should also be determined based on personal preferences and habits. If a man needs to travel on a business trip, he can choose a razor that is more convenient to carry. It is better to choose a rechargeable razor. People who like to shave while taking a shower should choose a non-slip razor to avoid accidents.

2. Look at the beard selection

The choice of razor also depends on the thickness of the beard. If you have a thicker beard, you can choose an oscillating razor to achieve a better shaving effect. People who do not need to shave every day can choose a rotary razor, which can shave the fastest and achieve the best shaving effect.

3. Look at the skin selection

Everyone’s skin is different, so when we choose, we still have to look at whether our skin can accept it. Otherwise, if we use it incorrectly, some men will suffer from skin redness, swelling and allergies, which is counterproductive. So when choosing a razor, you must choose a razor that will not harm your skin.

Eight taboos for men when shaving

Taboo 1

Don't shave the same area from different directions. In this way, it is easy to shave your beard too short to form an inverted beard, which can cause inflammation of the hair follicles.

Taboo 2

Don't shave off the hair. Although shaving the hair particles will result in a cleaner shave, it can easily irritate the skin and cause ingrown hairs.

Taboo 3

Don't shave before strenuous exercise. Because sweat can irritate the skin you just shaved and cause an infection.

Taboo 4

Never shave before taking a shower. Your skin is unprepared for this, and you're more likely to experience post-shave burn and develop ingrown beards.

Taboo 5

Do not use a blade that is too old or even rusted. When the blade is not sharp enough, it should be replaced in time.

Taboo six

Don't borrow razors from others, and don't lend yours to others. Contaminated blades can transmit serious skin diseases.

Taboo seven

When shaving with a razor blade, don't tense your facial muscles too much. This makes it easy to shave off the fibrous roots on the surface of the skin.

Taboo eight

When shaving with a razor, do not do it on a dry beard. If you don't keep your beard moisturized, it will take at least three or four days for those scrapes and bloody pustules to heal.
